Mangroves, too green
Pixel art mockup of the delta at sunrise. Forty colours, one tile set, and the mangroves are still too green. I'll fix it tomorrow, probably.

A narrative fishing game set in a river delta that floods in the wrong season. The palette is fixed at forty colours, and most of the art pipeline is built around that limit.
I built the first controllers from scrap keyboards and a microcontroller. They are not pretty, but the team can take them into the studio and play the prototype on a real table, which tells us more than any screen does.
The project is still in production. This page is the working log: palettes, tiles, the controller prototypes and the trailer sections we have ready to share.

My controller prototype: keyboard keys, a microcontroller and a lot of tape. It works. The solder joints are an honest mess.

Hands on the controller in a dim room, the screen lighting the keys. This is the most tested part of the game and the least fun to watch.

Soldering a board at the kitchen table in Boa Viagem. The iron has been on since the morning and so has my patience.
